About this course
This programme is for anyone who works in a workshop.
It’s all about working safely, looking at why accidents happen and how they can be prevented.
General workshop safety training is vital to ensuring that your staff follow best practices and remain safe in the workshop. No two workshops are the same, each with different hazards and machinery, this programme concentrates on general safety awareness, safe working habits and safe operating procedures.
In our General Workshop Safety Training programme, we consider specific hazards that may be found in a workshop, such as dangerous equipment and hazardous substances. As not all hazards are relevant to everyone, these are optional – the information is provided as a pointer to further training that may be needed. For each type of hazard, it explains who needs to know about that particular type of hazard and what the dangers are.
If you work in a workshop you may also be interested in our PPE Training and/or our Abrasive Wheel Safety Training.
This eLearning course only provides awareness education. Face to face training would be needed in addition in order to complete all-round skills and knowledge to be able to carry this forward practically in your organisation.

Why is this training important?
Compliance
It’s important that you comply with the law and know the ways in which it affects you and the way you work.
The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999
The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 states that employers must (See page 6):
– Assess risks to the health and safety of their employees and non-employees arising in, or from, the workshop, and review them when there is a significant change. Records of significant findings of the assessment must be kept where there are five or more employees.
– Plan, organise, control, monitor and review the preventative and protective measures taken as a result of the assessment.
– Provide health surveillance where necessary, for example, to help control health risks from metalworking fluids.
– Appoint any competent person(s) needed to help them comply with legal obligations, for example, when having lifting equipment thoroughly examined.
– Set out what should be done in case of serious and imminent danger in the workshop, such as the spillage of a large amount of degreasing solvent.
